Elina Rimpiläinen, the model and the mighty sewer of the outfit, gave me an opportunity to shoot her cosplay. This character is Rider and she's a medusa. I personally fell in love with that detail. (Note to self: find information about the character before you shoot, dumbass.)
I took advantage of the photoshoot and had some candy for myself. Meet Medusa.

Added contrast to the sky and cropped. I love the wig. <3
Olympus E-300 did the job.

She makes a gorgeous Rider!! And I love the shot! Great scenery, and you put her in a very nice pose!Although I would suggest you put that Rider is a 'gorgon' and not a 'medusa.' (Or remove the 'a' and capitalize Medusa since that would be her actual name) My anal suggestions aside, I really do adore this picture.

Out of all the submissions for the contest(I just flipped through all of them)I really hope this picture wins, even though I myself am going to throw in a submission XD
Best of luck, spectacular photo...and regardless of if you win or lose, you won a favorite from me
